Mesenteric Panniculitis and Sclerosing Mesenteritis: Let's connect

During Covid, I found myself in the ER twice in a great deal of stomach pain. The CT scan showed MP. The GI doctor refused to believe I had it because all my inflammation markers were normal. Fast forward, I continue to have flares and scans show MP.
Overall, I am in excellent health. I am going to add some supplements and tweaks to my diet. What can I expect as far as medication and treatment for this diagnosis.
Thank you in advance,
Barb

Do you have any updates ? I have had symptoms for over one year. I’ve had mesenteric panniculitis diagnosis with swollen lymph nodes on ct scan. I’ve had all kinds of tests- 4 ct scans, blood work, ultrasounds, gastric emptying studies, stool studies, but multiple gastro drs have refused to treat me. I’ve been offered pain management trigger point abdominal injections, anti depressants, following fodmap diet, etc. Finally, today my dr is ordering prednisone and will follow up with tamoxifen if needed. I’m excited to see if the prednisone works!
Did you start treatment?

May I ask what were your symptoms? I was just diagnosed on a CT scan that I drank Barrium and got contrast in iv.
